Treasons
04:32

Stab me right into the heart
So many promises unkept so far
Twist my mind, corrupt your soul
Trust is a mirage in this insane world
We spend our entire life
Using other people to get our way
The truth is hard to see
I thought I knew you, things are not what they seem
Too many treasons
For so much pain
We hide our face but we can’t live without a name
Guilty as sin we are
Looking for a reason to justify
Those acts of complete treachery
Our backs to the wall there’s no alibi
Will we grow up one day ?
Throw away the demon that lies inside
Our complete insecurity
Drags us into fear that only divides us
Too many treasons
For so much pain
We hide our face but we can’t live without a name

Our Existence
04:15

Who said we’re the creatures of God with a great destiny and a heart full of goodness ?
Probably the same one who said life’s a chance we must embrace with gratitude and love
Was he blind or dull for all I see are just true misery and atrocities
We all live in competition, fighting for praised illusions but always overtaken by disillusions
Where are we going ? What’s the point in living such a faithless existence ?
Many people hang on to this absurdity called life, wishing things they can only obtain in their graves.
In their graves.
All my life I’ve been waiting
For my time to come
Now, shrouded in lies
My fate at last has come to its end
The ebbs and flows of humanity granted us with a brave new world
Dreaming of goods but not of good, is that the achievement of filling up an empty existence ?
Empty as mindless puppets, poor silly creatures wandering, dancing with their arms dangling
All my life I’ve been waiting
For my time to come
Now, shrouded in lies
My fate at last has come to its end

Broken Flowers
04:59
|

Alone in darkness
Alone in empty rooms
My heart once more is torn apart
Lying in velvet arms
Lying in bitter sweetness
Is there a way to make a new start ?
Drowning in sorrow
Drowning in dreary seas
In emptiness I’ve lost my faith
The beauty of angels
The beauty of purest creatures
Caress by sin they all fall from grace
Why the broken flowers ?
Why those lies make us real ?
Possessed by obsession
Only pain we can feel
We can feel ...

Inherent Vice
04:15
|
|||
A deep voice in your head
Tells you to act this way
Immoral delight
Pleasure and flesh prevail
When sins rise over virtue
The call of lust is irresistible
You cannot win this
Resign yourself, I'll set you free
Obey and follow your
Inherent vice
Anytime you hear it calling
Inherent vice
Can't fight it back you're sinking
Inherent vice
The path to freedom but still
Inherent vice
Consumes your soul and makes you mine
One touch, one kiss
The skin so soft you're electric
Ardours of vice grow
Like a savage beast, bloodthirsty
Demons spinning your head
The burning flames of passion
Brings you to a new world
Where pain and pleasure become one
Obey and follow your
Inherent vice
Anytime you hear it calling
Inherent vice
Can't fight it back you're sinking
Inherent vice
The path to freedom but still
Inherent vice
Consumes your soul and makes you mine

Waiting For Extinction
07:12
|
|||
Seasons follow one by one and nothing changes
Everything is idle as we claim to lead the way
Life’s a bland thing, same nonsense we go through each day
Only few pleasures remain to escape this fate
Oh I’m waiting for….
…..Extinction
Sun’s too bright, my eyes can’t see, I’ll stay in the dark
Shelter me ! I won’t go back to this crawling nightmare
In the silence I can sleep forever again
Everything must have an end so please, let me sleep tight
Oh I’m waiting for….
…..Extinction
Seasons follow one by one and nothing changes
Everything is idle as we claim to lead the way
Shelter me ! I won’t go back to this crawling nightmare
In the silence I can sleep forever again
Oh I’m waiting for….
…..Extinction

The Living Paradox Semur En Auxois, France
We are a synthpop band formed in Besançon in 2016.
Our sound is a mix of several 80’s post punk and new wave
bands with more modern influences as well.
We try to make a sound balanced between the energy of rock and the ethereal or acid sounds of synth oriented wave.
Have a taste ;)
